Header Settings – Video Guide

1. Header Settings Hierarchy / How Header Settings work?

Just simple 2 steps

First : Set Via theme Options
Second : Override on Page, Post via Metabox only if required

Refer below table for more info. Please check out demo video for easy understanding. Sometimes its quite hard to explain simple things : )

Theme Options Theme Options > Header Section > Header Style

This header style will work all over the site. Archive pages (e.g. date, category, tag archives), custom post type pages via any 3rd party plugin (e.g. woocommerce / any event plugin) will take this header by default and cannot be override via page, post settings. Better choose header style considering requirement for such pages, as general pages, posts can be set individually. So even if you do not need page title for general website pages, but need it for archive pages, choose header style with Page title and override it for general pages via metabox (discussed below). There are separate options in options panel to hide page header on single posts of custom post types like portfolio / team / testimonial / product. So in case if you need Page title all over the site and need to hide it only for single posts like portfolio / team / testimonial / product, these will do the work If you are selecting ‘transparent / semi transparent header with Page Title’, set background image for Page Title via options panel. You can override this for individual page. If you are selecting ‘semi transparent header only’, set background color for h ader via theme options panel.

Metabox Page / Post Edit Screen > Header Settings

This is optional and not at all required if you have same header for all pages. This is just for extra flexibility. Header settings will be available for all posts, pages and custom post types via theme. These will override settings via theme options for the particular page, post. Provide only required options. Leave default otherwise. Header settings option will not be available for archive pages, custom post types via any 3rd party plugin (e.g. woocommerce / any event plugin) . Select preferred header style in theme options.

2. Alt – For Menu color and Logo

• This is optional and not at all required if you have same header for all pages.
• You can provide alternative logo and color styles for menu in theme options panel.
• Then use it via metabox ‘Header Settings’ for particular page.
• This is useful if you have basic settings considering light background and need to set particular page with dark background.
• This option will not be available for archive pages, custom post types via any 3rd party plugin, so better keep main settings (Menu Typography – Default) according to header background color, which will be applied all over the site.

  Scenario 1 : If you have selected ‘Default’ header style in theme options and header background color is white, menu links in – Menu Typography – Default – should be black

  Scenario 2 : If you have selected ‘Semi transparent header + Page Title’ header style in theme options and Semi transparent header background color is black, menu links in – Menu Typography – Default – should be white

  Scenario 3 : If you have selected ‘Semi transparent header + Page Title’ header style in theme options and Semi transparent header background color is white, menu links in – Menu Typography – Default – should be black

  Scenario 4 : If you have selected ‘Topbar + Header’ header style in theme options and header background color is white, menu links in – Menu Typography – Default – should be black

In short

Menu styles given here will work all over the site :	Theme Options > Typography & Styling > Menu Typography – Default
Menu styles given here will work for ‘alt’ Use it on selected pages, only if required.	Theme Options > Typography & Styling > Menu Typography – Alt

Example : If your header is white ( for majority of pages esp. archives )

Menu Typography	Header Background Color	Menu link color
Default	white	black
Alt	black	white

Example : If your header is black (for majority of pages esp. archives)

Menu Typography	Header Background Color	Menu link color

Alt	white	black

3. What if I do not need Page title all over the site?

Select any of the header styles as per requirement in theme options:

– Topbar + Header
– Header Only

4. What if I do not need Page title only for some pages?

1. Select any of the header styles as per requirement in theme options:

– Default
– Transparent Header + Page Title
– Semi Transparent Header + Page Title

2. Override on individual page via Header Settings Metabox. Select any of these as per requirement:

– Topbar + Header Without Page title
– Header only

4. Styles for sticky header

• Background color for sticky header can be set in theme options [ Theme Options > Layout and Styling > Sticky Header ]
• Menu style ( default or alt ) can be selected in theme options [ Theme Options > Typography & Styling > Sticky Menu Typography ]
• In short, even if your main header is with white background and sticky header is black, above will make it work fine.
